Sky P90, 250k or 500k vol?

[Timi]

Im gonna be putting one of those Sky P90s in a friends guitar soon, just wondering what people would recommend for the vol put I will also be changing.

Also, has anyone tried this pickup?

Thanks.

500k is the one. If you find its too bright (unlikely) then 250k might be better.

The SKY P90's were the stock pickup in the mid 1990's Ibanez P90 equipped JS700's.
Nice P90 pickups - If you are in Wgtn, pop into Weta and talk to Mal. He's used them in his own guitars, and he put a set in a custom tele for a customer.... all with excellent customer feedback.
He's just finished another Weta with 2 of the hum cancelling versions if you want to hear them also. I've also sold a couple of sets to other guys building their own P90 tele's.

Cheers

Are the Skys Alnico or Ceramic magnet?

I have a set of JS700 pickups which are ceramic and a set of CSP P90s which look identical except that they are Alnico loaded.
